All three projects have also been supported by Rural Perth & Kinross LEADER Programme 2014-2020: The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development: Europe investing in rural areas.

In total the sum raised has been just under £180,000.

The biggest contributors to the initiative so far are all the people who have given their time to come with and help develop project ideas and the three freelance project producers Marian Bruce, Clare Cooper and Donna Holford-Lovell who, have collectively invested £60,000 worth of unpaid effort and toil (known in the language of economists as ‘sweat equity’) in digital production, fundraising applications (over 20 were made most of which were rejected), financial management, relationship building, advocacy, marketing and pr. In common with many initiatives of this nature, it is sweat equity by committed individuals that lays the foundations upon which further innovations are built.
